Evolution of Social Entreprenurship: in Shaping India’s Future

摘要：

This essay sets out to focus on Evolution of Social Entrepreneurship and the rise and reshaping of social entrepreneurship in India. The growth of modern economic systems has generated more numerous, complex and urgent social challenges. Although the use of the term social entrepreneur is growing rapidly, the field of social entrepreneurship lacks rigor and is in its infancy compared to the wider field of entrepreneurship. Success stories of individuals solving complex social problems are being used to legitimize the field of social entrepreneurship. The interest in social entrepreneurs stems from their role in addressing critical social problems and the dedication they show in improving the well-being of society (Zahra et al., 2008). Social entrepreneurship looked upon with high regard because of the multitude of social needs they satisfy and the changes it brings to affected societies. Social entrepreneurship means to identify under-utilized resources like people buildings and put them to use to satisfy unmet social needs. They innovate new welfare services and new ways of delivering existing services. Social entrepreneurs who deploy entrepreneurial skills for social ends are at work in parts of the traditional public sector, some large private sector corporations and at the most innovative edge of the voluntary sector.
